The centre back had been tipped in the Spanish press as a potential target, along with West Ham United and reports recently have suggested that 31-year-old may be willing to move this summer in search of regular football.

The defender previously worked under Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo at Porto before joining Valencia, and the Spanish side have also been linked with a move along with clubs in the Chinese Super League.

Otamendi is a client of Jorge Mendes who has strong ties with Wolves.

However, more recent claims, from Goal.com , have suggested the Premier League winner has designs on returning to the Mestalla.

The Argentina international signed a new contract until 2022 last January, but has fallen behind John Stones and Aymeric Laporte in Pep Guardiola’s pecking order in recent months.

Sin Cara strikes back

WWE wrestler Sin Cara has once again explained why Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez wore a mask at Wembley, as well as aiming another dig at Troy Deeney.

The Mexican is due to watch his first Wolves game this weekend after accepting an invite from Laurie Dalrymple.

Since Jimenez adorned the mask in March, it has sparked a social media frenzy with hundreds of fans purchasing the famous masks for charity.

In an interview with MedioTempo , Cara said he couldn't have imagined the impact Jimenez's celebration would have.

"I did not expect it (the popularity that got its mask), the fans of England have written things to me on my social networks . When Raúl Jiménez put on his mask to celebrate, it was very impressive everywhere. My social networks have grown and it has been very nice to realize that we have transcended borders. “

Shock in the sticks?

Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed that he could call upon third choice goalkeeper Will Norris before the end of the season.

With Wolves , who are in pole position to take seventh place in the Premier League this term, secure in the top half of the table with two matches to play, Nuno could rotate his goalkeeping department so that Norris gets a look-in.

Wolves welcome already relegated Fulham to Molineux this weekend, before heading to Liverpool on the final weekend of the campaign.

Portugal international has been Nuno’s number one, having signed from Sporting Lisbon last summer, while John Ruddy featured in the win over Cardiff City and has been a constant in both the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Nuno, though, has been full of praise for Norris’ attitude and hopes to have a chance to utilise him in one of the remaining two matches.
